The awakening scenes are so garbage

[Redzeth]

So I think I've seen all the awakening scenes so far, and I think the only good one so far is Stahl's.

They give the explanation that they have to rip out the mechanical heart and speak their ambitions and hopes into it, yet besides Stahl most do their speach before they rip it out and then just give some token words to the heart. This makes no sense and takes away from the scene.

Also why does the voice during the awakening say Thank you? It feels soooo freaking weird for them to lay their heart bear and the voice goes thank you, now you are ready for awakening. Like wtf?

The music for the awakening also could've been better but I think just having the scenes play out along with a good speech to the mechanical heart would've made it feel way better.

They're pretty weak and a definite disappointment compared to how they've been in previous titles, yeah. The flaccid song, the kind of shrug visuals and circumstances around most of them... I just can't really say I feel much from the vast majority. Strohl's definitely wasn't bad, though.

You can tell that they did cut some corners here and there probably because it had a very limited budget compared to flagship games like Persona. You can also tell that the game was cut short in some parts to meet both the budget cap and release date.

The writing is not really very good. They keep talking about themes of anxiety for instance but do nothing to explain the turning it into power thing. Using words != good writing.

It's all a symptome of Atlus giving this title to a bunch of amateur writers who still haven't formed their style or good understanding of class.
